Does any barrel work need to be done to get a 5/8x24” Dead Air Muzzle brake to fit?

Nope, you just have to time it with the included shims that come with the brake.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TheWhiteHorse: Let us know how she shoots. Will do. Just got scope rings in this weekend. Realized I lost my scope levels in the move. Tried to use the leveling tool I have (some piece of metal cut into triangles), but the scope sits too low. I bought a cheap leveling kit and it’s en route. Should have it by Wed. Borrowed a lead sled for zeroing, because one shot I took aiming down the barrel into the berm wasn’t nearly as vigorous amount of recoil as I had expected. |

Ditch the lead sled. Use a bipod and read bag.

Sadly that means I’ll have to rezero.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lilMAC25: Sandman S that I already own. Sadly that means I’ll have to rezero. Yup, I’ve got one as well. It’s a pretty heavy can, going to probably drop it an inch or two on that barrel. Didn’t have a major effect on accuracy but it does shift POI every time you take it off and put it back on. Make sure you check it periodically as it will loosen with magnum cartridges. And make sure you have a .30 cal end cap before you send one!! |

That’s all I worry about. |

For hunting purposes or plinking at a few hundred yards it’s fine… precision stuff, nope, it shifted every time. It’s really bad on my 6ARC gas gun for some reason. Thats why god made TBAC. |

Indubitably. |

Makes no difference in group size either Just a 1.5” drop straight down at 100 |
